Course: Sustainability and Renewable Technologies (21053) > Section: Examining Renewable Energy

Production should include

- tower
- nacelle
- rotor
- generator
- shaft
- blades.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does blade design affect energy output?
- What is the purpose of a nacelle?
- What can be changed about the blades that might make the turbine more efficient?
- Why does the generator not power the load by itself?
- How do the components of a wind turbine interact to produce usable power?
- Which components are involved in the basic energy transformation that makes the device function?
- How does each of the components contribute to the efficient function of the system?
